Nitish Kumar, set to be Chief Minister of Bihar for the seventh time but with a greatly diminished status in the ruling alliance after finishing at number 3, rejected the "arrogant" label in an interaction with the media after the state election results. He also denied that his months of silence during the coronavirus lockdown contributed to public disenchantment against him and his Janata Dal United (JDU).
